For full face labels you can edit the script like this:

;; Utility to calculate the inner radius
(define (inner-diam diameter mini)
(if (= mini TRUE) (/ diameter 3.1) (/ diameter 5.1)))

Editing like this will give a normal sized label with the “mini” option ticked and a full face with the default (non-mini) setting.

Remember to adjust your printer options for CD and “Print to hub”.

I’m using ubuntu 9.10 and it worked flawlessly with a few notational changes
1.) In 9.10 the gimp-print deb package is deprecated because it’s already a part of the standard gimp install package.
2.) There is no longer an Xtns Menu Item so you need to select the Filters menu item and look for the 2nd Script-fu menu item and then its simply >misc>CD Label to create a new blank workspace
3.) The Script-fu option in the image menu isn’t there, it’s actually in it’s own top level menu item, and again once you’ve found the starting point the instructions remain as per the article.

also the gimp interface has evolved somewhat but it’s very intuitive, just remember to set thing sup in the print dialog and don’t accidentally print this web page instead of you CD image because you’ve been alt-tabbing so much you forget where you are.

I’m quite new to Ubuntu, and the only thing I’m currently unable to do that I used to with XP, is print labels on my printable DVDs. I’m trying to print using an Epson R285 (UK model). I’ve followed the guide above, but something’s clearly not right, the best I get is the top left corner of the image to print, and if the whole image had printed it would be way too big, as if its not been scaled to fit the cd, I’ve resized the image to 800X800. I’ve done numerous searches on the web, but to no avail. I doubt it makes any difference, but I’m using verbatim full face DVDs.

Thanks in advance

I got it working. Looks like I didnt have foomatic printconf (I believe that’s what fixed it) installed. Please excuse my newbieism since I am a fairly new windows convert.

BTW.. the Script Fu menu that you want to pull up to find the “CD label” option is under the “Filters” menu option. In case anyone else needed that.

First of all, I put the CD Label2.scm file in the Scripts folder for Gimp 2.6.

The menus have changed in Gimp 2.6. Now the Script Fu shows up in the main menu. When I click it I see the option for CD mask. It does not say CD Label. When I click that I don’t get an options box for the script. Well I do but it is very limited. It has a checkbox for “mini CD”, and help, reset, cancel, and ok buttons. No other options at all.

Also, it seems that no matter what I do, I can’t get the image to scale 100% when printed. It always looks too small.

Does anyone have a clue as to what I am doing wrong? Thanks for any help you can give.

I have a setting in the printer dialog that allows printing to the hub – maybe this will work for you?
The mask itself shouldn’t need any adjusting.
